YMCA
Blood Pressure Self Monitoring Program
To combat the growing number of people suffering from high blood pressure the Parkview Warsaw YMCA has created the Blood Pressure Self Monitoring Program. During this 4-month program participants will be partnered with a trained healthy heart ambassador for personal, bi-weekly consultations on taking their own blood pressure and will meet monthly as a group to learn how modifying their nutrition and physical activity can significantly reduce their blood pressure. Each participant will be able to track their progress and celebrate their improvement. To sign up for the Blood Pressure Self Monitoring Program please attend one of our free kick-off events.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM | In this life-changing 4-month program, you will meet with a trained YMCA staff member bi-weekly, receive weekly email or phone call checkups, and meet as a group once a month for Nutrition Seminars. These meetings and seminars will work to assure that you are tracking, logging, and recording your blood pressure correctly and help you to learn how modifying your nutrition and physical activity can significantly reduce your blood pressure.
COST | $65 for YMCA and Community Members who need a blood pressure monitor. $40 for YMCA members and Community Members who own a blood pressure monitor already.
Each Blood Pressure Self Monitoring Program Session starts with a free kick off event! These free seminars are centered around buying, preparing, eating heart healthy foods, and allow indibviauls to sign up for the YMCA’s BLood Pressure Self Monitoring Progam. For our evening events light appetizers will be provided and for our lunch events lunch will be offered. Registration is required.
